When you say “Congress” that means the US House of Representatives and the Senate. Now in an Impeachment only the US House of Representatives acts on that, The Senate acts on whether to convict or not.

We’ve already seen how the Senate acts with the Democrats being in control - for example with Clinton, where they would NOT CONVICT.

The Senate would never act to convict. It would be Reid running a straight party line ... :-) ...

In addition to that, in the entire history of the USA, the Senate has NEVER ONE TIME removed a president from office. It has simply NEVER WORKED ONE SINGLE TIME, despite being tried many times.

So ... “that” (what you say) ... is going absolutely nowhere and everyone knows it, including the military.

I’m not talking about impeachment. I’m talking about detaining an enemy combatant before he can destroy the nation.

Does the NDAA allow the military to do that?

When Clinton was on trial, the GOP had 55 Senators. The two charges were both defeated, 45/55 and 50/50.

Couldn't get even a simple majority, much less 2/3. Not even all Republicans voted to convict, on either charge.
